correction :) I am NOW using... I've always liked the reflections FTP client, I've not been able to use any other client, but I am now starting to use IBM's Z/explorer , that GUI along with an MVS address space will get you MVS dataset, USS filesystem, local fileystems access plus the ability to run shell scripts, and tso command from the GUI moving or coping datasets can be done using a drag and drop.

Do you like it? I personally use the FTP Client that is part of Micro Focus (formerly Attachmate) Reflection Desktop for IBM (Reflection Workspace). Being an application suite dedicated to mainframe access (the application is primarily a TN3270 client), the FTP Client that goes along with it seems to truly understand the idiosyncrasies of MVS and works quite well with it. On the other hand, only a limited number of users in our shop are "authorized" to use Reflection, so they cannot use its FTP client. They are stuck (currently) with an MVS hostile (IMO) application called CuteFTP. Are there any good "freestanding" FTP GUI applications that are "MVS friendly"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
